Phew! What a whirlwind trip! Yesterday we drove to NYC to meet Kate & Viren, who were up from DC for Kate’s dress fitting. With the wedding celebration only 3 weeks away, we wanted to get some great pictures of them. They got married in India a few months back, and are hosting a celebration for their state-side family and friends in a few weeks. I’m sure it’s going to be a blast! Kate & Viren are so sweet together – he kept her laughing through most of the shots! They were great sports!

So it wasn’t truly an e-session since they are already married, but we’ll call it that anyway!  Here’s a few of my favorites from yesterday. I just love the city – it has so much character and flair! Enjoy!

Every once in a while I get the itch to change up my portfolio a bit. This is one of those times!

So… I’m on the lookout for some new models! This particular search is for newborns – ages 0-3 months. If you’re chosen you’ll recieve a complimentary session at my studio near Hancock, NY and an 8×10 of your favorite image from the session. I do ask for a signed model release, allowing me to use the images for my portfolio.

If you or someone you know has a child that fits into the 0-3 month age category, please e-mail a snapshot along to modelsearch@prochazkaphotography.com. I will be doing this again in the near future for high school seniors, so keep checking back here for details on that!

Ok, so I had been doing really well with blogging and then life got in the way. It’s been really busy around here – lots of commercial work and of course, life with 3 kids. But hopefully now that things have slowed down a tiny bit, I can get back into the blogging groove.

Last week we took Colin to Walt Disney World and had a wonderful time! Of course Drew and I are exhausted (Disney isn’t exactly a relaxing vacation) but it was fun! The girls stayed home with their grandparents since it would have been nearly impossible to keep up with 3 kids 4 and under at the parks. Colin loved every minute (and when asked what his favorite part was, he replied “everything!”) We were ready to get home, that’s for sure!

Silly me, I had brought along my XTi and 18-55is lens (that’s the kit I use for family shots, camping, vacations and such when I don’t want to take the chance bringing my pro lenses/cameras). But I forgot to bring a 2nd battery or charger (they were left in my camera bag by the front door, which I took out of the suitcase right before we left to try to conserve a little space.) Arrgg! So I relied mostly on my little point-and-shoot (a canon A720) most of the time. The XTi did come out for the character meals, but it eats through batteries like crazy, so I couldn’t use it much. Bummer – there were so many wonderful things I would have liked to capture! Thank goodness I had a back-up p&s though!

Anyway, here’s a few of our favorites from the trip…

And my absolute favorite… I call it Giggles since he had a hysterical case of them while waiting for the bus to the Magic Kingdom. I just love it! Pure little boy excitement!
